Chronos of the Moon

The First Footprints That Never Were

By: David Ewen

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the late 22nd century, a thriving colony beneath the silvered craters of Mare Imbrium uncovers a buried relic that bends more than space. When it awakens, Commander Elara Vance and her crew are swept to the eve of Apollo 11. Stranded on a Moon that is about to receive its first human footprint, they must become watchmen between seconds—keeping history intact while a mysterious “seam” in time listens for the posture of their hearts.

Pilot Rafe Navarro wrestles pride and learns the courage of open hands. Engineer Mei Park composes a humble signal that becomes a hymn. Medic Sanaa Adebayo binds bodies and spirits with quiet mercy. Poet-geologist Jonah and apprentice Lian discover that truth told gently can steady a world. As the artifact’s hinge opens not forward but sideways, the team faces a Moon where Apollo never happened and must choose between conquest and hospitality, mastery and mercy.

Lyrical and luminous, Chronos of the Moon is a Christian science-fiction space opera about faith under pressure, the freedom of obedience, and the kind of hope that sets a table in the dust and leaves a note that reads, “Peace to you.” For readers who believe wonder and worship can share the same sky.

The author, Dr. David K. Ewen is an ordained minister whose life and calling have been deeply shaped by faith, education, and a lifelong fascination with the heavens. As a child, he stood among millions who watched history unfold in 1969, when humanity first set foot on the Moon. A few years later, with wonder in his eyes and a telescope in hand, he tracked America’s first space station, Skylab, as it sailed across the night sky. Those moments sparked a passion that has never faded—a passion for both the mysteries of creation and the God who made them.

Dr. Ewen’s journey has been one of teaching and ministry, guiding others to wisdom, truth, and grace. His work in education has touched lives around the world, while his ministry has sought to bring light to those walking through life’s deepest questions. His name even journeys beyond Earth, etched into history on a silicon chip aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover, which launched in 2020 and touched down in Jezero Crater on Mars in 2021.

With this book, Dr. Ewen unites his lifelong love of space exploration with his devotion to sharing the message of hope, redemption, and the abiding presence of God. His voice as both minister and storyteller invites readers not only to dream of the stars but also to see in them the reflection of a Creator who calls each of us by name.
